 ## What is gqlgen?

+[gqlgen](https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen) is a Go library for building GraphQL servers without any fuss.<br/>
 
 - **gqlgen is based on a Schema first approach** — You get to Define your API using the GraphQL [Schema Definition Language](http://graphql.org/learn/schema/).
 - **gqlgen prioritizes Type safety** — You should never see `map[string]interface{}` here.
 - **gqlgen enables Codegen** — We generate the boring bits, so you can focus on building your app quickly.
 
 Still not convinced enough to use **gqlgen**? Compare **gqlgen** with other Go graphql [implementations](https://gqlgen.com/feature-comparison/)
 
-## Getting Started
-- To install gqlgen run the command `go get github.com/99designs/gqlgen` in your project directory.<br/> 
-- You could initialize a new project using the recommended folder structure by running this command `go run github.com/99designs/gqlgen init`.
+## Quick start
+```shell
+# Initialise a new go module
+mkdir example
+cd example
+go mod init gqlgen.com/example

-We also have a couple of real-world [examples](https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen/tree/master/example) that show how to GraphQL applications with **gqlgen** seamlessly,

 Create a directory for your project, and initialise it as a Go Module:

+```shell
+mkdir gqlgen-todos

 This will create our suggested package layout. You can modify these paths in gqlgen.yml if you need to.
